Support UNICEF with a Car Donation
In honor of World Health Day, it’s a day to celebrate World Health! In 2020, we are proud to support, “giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship” and our partner UNICEF. UNICEF continues to save more lives than any humanitarian organization. Looking for a cause to support? Want to give back to a cause larger than yourself? Consider donating a car to UNICEF. UNICEF – working in the efforts of world health for 70 years – in over 190 countries. At Advanced Remarketing Services (ARS), we help individuals donate cars to charity – one of our partners is UNICEF. A car donation can make a great impact because we see every car donation as an opportunity to give back. ARS has streamlined a process for donating a car that is simple for donors, tax deductible, and is leading the industry with 80% of proceeds going to charity.
